Despite all the coming and goings with the cast for Legendary's forthcoming Kong: Skull Island Avengers and Thor star Tom Hiddleston has remained dedicated to the highly secretive project. So little is known about the movie other than its 1970's setting that when the British actor was quizzed recently by Collider about his role couldn't even mention his characters name...
Collider: You’re about to start filming two projects back to back, possibly. What is it like to go get ready to submerge again into acting? Talk a little bit about what you have coming up.
Tom Hiddleston: Well, Kong: Skull Islandis the next thing on the books. It’s so exciting. I’ve been digging around in some dark material, to be honest. There’s something very heroic about my character in Skull Island. He’s an adventurer, he’s an explorer. I mean, it’s a King Kong film. There we go. [laughs]
The way Jordan Vogt-Roberts has conceived of it, there’s something in there which I find very compelling about King Kong as an emblem of the power of nature in some way, and man’s relationship to it. I think he’s got just brilliant ideas about exploring that. Incredible sequences, a particular context they put King Kong in that you’ve never see him in before, so I’m really excited.
Amazing actors. I’m working with Brie Larson, Corey Hawkins, and Jason Mitchell from Straight Outta Compton are going to be in it.
Collider: Is it a period film or is it going to be modern day?
Tom Hiddleston: I don’t know if I’m supposed to reveal that to you. There is a period, but I don’t want to reveal what it is yet.
